Eloise
I visited BB Douro Marina and tried Disabled Sailing. I really enjoyed it; it’s excellent value for money, and the staff are very friendly. If I return to Porto, I’ll definitely do it again.
Sonja
It was absolutely fantastic! It was a first for both my husband and me, and we were both completely enchanted—it put us in a great mood for the rest of the day. A huge thank you to our captain and guide, Matilde. We had the chance to steer the boat, and Matilde really taught us how to do it. The whole experience was so exciting. I highly recommend it!
